Is european rap automatically excluded from classic status or how does it work?
Nah, I'm just f*cking with you. I'm not really feeling Eurorap, though.
You sure? Eurorap is as diverse as US Rap is. There's a lot to be missed as there's a serious amount of crap like everywhere.
Tender inferiority complexes revealed...
Heh. It's a valid point, though. I understand most Americans' aversion to European hip-hop, even if I think that sometimes it's partly down to laziness. But for every European country, there's a grip of different styles. Not saying all of it is good, not at all, but it's certainly diverse.
Hey, I'm not saying there aren't some good American soccer players either.
But it's something that kids go to camp for, whose practice mothers drive minivans to, that rarely produces anything resembling a competitive team but people seem to enjoy doing nonetheless.

Agreed. I've bought some eurorap over the years, usually cause I really like a beat. In general tho I feel like Americans, myself included, have trouble taking accented rapping seriously, although romance languages seem to go down a bit easier for discerning listeners. Not sure I'd chalk it up to laziness or just taste. Anyway, I just thought it was a funny response to DBs exceeding diplomatic answer, carry on..
I saw him live and he was possibly one of the worst acts Ive ever seen. I was so glad I was on the guest list so I could leave without feelin' I'd wasted my money.
and it's especially befitting given that one of America's best soccer/football players also made a (rather crappy) rap a few years back with Big Hawk (rip)

It's not just exclusive to Americans alone I dont like hearing it either. Even though i dont mind hearing American rappers massacre Jamaican Patois though.

Just to clarify i'm talking specifically about Non-American accents in rap. The Southern accent is refreshing to me right now even though i know East Coast/NYC purists have a problem with it. But let's not sidetrack add some more backpack classiques ppl.

There's gotta be some list for ego trip of 10 best indie rap records that made NO money. I say indie because I'm sure a ton of the great major label 12"s lost money.

It was Up Above, wasn't it? I would like to see that list too.
And we need to complete the rhymes for this "Britonics" song yall are working on. This is awesome.

These left a good impression on me.
King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader.
Felt (Murs & Atmosphere) - A Tribute to Lisa Bonet.
I agree.
A slut is a slag
A minger's a hag
Tracksuited white trash is a chav
